Abstract

An injection-compression molding apparatus includes a stationary mold provided with a nozzle for injecting molten resin, and a movable mold driven by a servo motor. In compressing the resin, high-speed position control of the movable mold is first performed, which is then switched to speed feedback control which enables delicate regulation of clamping pressure in accordance with pressure fluctuations in the resin.
